Small Scale Military Headquarters

According to BBI the "green" zero is a late dec early jan prospect but thats not a guarantee. I've got nothin on the P-38 or the avenger for that matter and they pushed back their legends corsair till jan.
Merry christmas.

the word from BBI on friday to me was, they are shipping hornets next week to me.
get bem while they last!

The info I was referring to was the new price list 21c sent me this week.
As I said, nothing about preorders or expected delivery on the zero or 202, although I await them both anxiously.

All i got from 21c was a bunch of new P-47's, a 109 and 3 FW-190's expected january. nothing about a zero or 202?.

really nice job!
I'd definately go for any RAAF planes, my grandfather worked for the commonwealth aircraft factory on Sabres so I'd love one of those.
I'm thinking of doing a custom paint job on my F-18 from BBI
witha n RAAF anniversary paint scheme.

thanks for the info gentlemen, nice pics too.
ok 21c lets have another round of the royal navy, just for me please

I just picked up the Franklin mint Royal navy Corsair, I know wrong scale its 1/48. The question may already have been asked but who wouldn't love it in 1/18. "not another repaint!" at least its not blue!!

I can certainly appreciate your point, but today is thanks giving and I'm not going pick hairs over toys. Enjoy your turkey.

I have pretty good pictures of the franklin mint diecast if that helps.
Check the "new arrivals" on my web.

Last time I talked to the 21c guys that told me of some japanese figures coming down the pipe. Apparently Chinese customs is making it hard though.

To be honest, I hadn,t thought at all about tacky marketing, inappropriate aliens or reverent memorialization of the heroes of any war. As has been said, 21c is a business for profit, if adding an alien increases their sales then they'll be around longer to make all those othetr models we're waiting...

I love that paint scheme, nice photo by the way, where is that? I have the frankilin mint avaailable on my web but 1/18 would be fantastic. I have the olive drab "samantha payton hanging up, shes so pretty! I know 21c has anew paint scheme coming soon for the P-38, cant say what though. happy thanks...

I'm not sure if anyone is intersted in art here, I know its a model forum, but I see plenty of guys who like phantoms so I thought I'd post this item for sale. Its a limited edition artists proof by William Phillips called, "Sierra Hotel" Its apainting of two 70"s era phantoms screaming across the n...

Yep, serious about the the little green man. As far as a release date they dont tell me any more than you. I can say that I dont even have a preorder date yet. The open boxed peice I saw looked ready to go though, fully painted detailed and strapped into its box, with hte twist ties and plastic band...

I had achance to see an out of th box avenger recently.
WOW!!! Its really a beautiful peice. Wasnt assembled but looks to be very impressive. A nice touch was the alien figure as in flight 19, cool.
I cant wait.

I'd love to see an F-14 Tomcat in Sundowners livery, I dont mean the 2 tone grey, the older light sea grey with the red would be spectacular.

I have a couple of better pictures on my web site.
As to delivery, as usual its supposed to be here Dec. Jan. Feb???
I've given up expecting them until they arrive on my doorstep.
They look like they've done an excellent job with this one though, the removable cockpit is a very nice touch.

no info from bbi on new tooling or anything. as i posted in description, they're saying 12 250lbers. I've not seen a real hornet with that weapons load but I guess we'll see, they're taking preorders and expect dec. arrival?

I cant figure out how to paste the picture from my BBI doc, but these are the specs they sent me. Product Specifications F-18C Pilot action figure Pilot ladder Functional landing gear x 3 Functional “ L & R ” folding wings for aircraft carrier Fully detail cockpit Functional rear canopy A set of wea...

From the info BBI sent me, it seems to be the same aircrfat with new paint.
Comes with the pilot, folding wings, ladder, 2xsidewinders and 12x 250lb bombs and a drop tank.
I'll take email reservations at my web if you can find the shelf space! .

Since you're scaling down you should check out Armour 1/48 collection, they are awesome. I just picked up a P-38 and an F-16 "enduring freedom" for my web store. Armour is a spin off of franklin mint and so they're pricey but I think you get plenty of bang for your buck. I have to agree though, 21C ...

F-4's are nice, give me an F-111 anyday, go aussies. Still flying em, and if you get the chance to a show down under, they almost always do a dump and burn display, lots of jet fuel!!!

21c is supposed to release their legends pappy boyington corsair first, then the new corsair, then ??? avenger.
Still, cant have to many corsairs, I'd like to see an australian example.

I talked to a guy who works in the shipping dept. for 21c. I agree, very cool looking, big arrow on the tail, etc. We shall see.

thanks every one. I did see the "stickers" in the box but they're kinda cheesy. Cutting edge has abeutiful set available. I also talked to 21c today and they confirmed what you all have said regarding the "chinese" issue and the politically incorrect markings. Also commented on some japaenese figure...
